Dear Editor:

Having just returned via one of our rooter busses this evening from Waitsburg, I wanted to make sure the first thing I did upon returning was to thank Waitsburg High School and community for the warm hospitality they showed us this weekend.

Of course the football team roughed us up a bit, but that's not what I wanted to thank you for of course. Be­tween

superintendent Carol Clarke, principal/athletics director Stephanie Wooder­chak, retired superintendent Robbie Johnson, and I as­sume some great parents, our visit to your community Saturday night will remain forever a very good memory.

The administration gra­ciously allowed our band and rooters to sleep in the gym after the game, arranged for great concessions, fed our football players after the game, and Robbie opened up his theater for a private, very late night movie. We could all take lessons from your administration and community members on how to be gracious hosts as they were amazing! Thank you all for your kindness as it will not be soon forgotten. We wish your football team the best of luck in the playoffs and hope you're able to continue your winning ways. I thought your school, community, and team were all examples of what a class act is all about.
